Self-Propelled Multifunctional Microrobots Harboring Chiral Supramolecular Selectors for Enantiorecognition-on-the-Fly

Jose Munoz et al.

Summary: A general procedure for synthesizing multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles with chiral, magnetic, and fluorescent properties, as well as self-propulsion, is reported here. The researchers functionalized self-propelled Ni@Pt superparamagnetic microrockets with fluorescent CdS quantum dots, which carried a chiral host biomolecule. The on-the-fly chiral recognition potential of these nanoparticles was demonstrated by their ability to selectively accommodate different chiral biomolecules. The study opens up possibilities for designing intelligent cargo micromachines with built-in chiral supramolecular recognition capabilities.

Wireless light-emitting device for the determination of chirality in real samples

Gerardo Salinas et al.

Summary: Bipolar electrochemistry can be used for chiral recognition and obtaining analytical readouts of enantiomeric analytes. By combining the enantioselective electrooxidation of one chiral analyte with light emission from LEDs, the simultaneous determination of two enantiomers in solution is possible. This approach has the potential to be used for analyzing enantiomeric excess in real samples.
